Crying

Crying: An Exploration of Tears from Laura Thompson on Vimeo.

Challenge for Part III:
15 people of varying ages, races, & genders.
Longer interviews (which can be edited, but should allow them to open up).
Build a relationship between the audience and these people.


Amanda sent me a video that reminds me of my first iteration where I simply showed myself crying in two different situations to the class:

"I'm too sad to tell you" by Bas Jan Ader

Henceforth

Updates (I've lost track of the weeks)

Well, all of my projects finished up before spring break and then I went to the Netherlands and now I have to generate idea for four new projects. It's a tad overwhelming if you ask me. So here's what's up in each of my classes:

CFC III: I finished my cigarette piece. I ended up making a sound piece, which I'm not entirely sure how to share on here...but I'll get it up when I can. I think it's one of my more successful explorations of sound, but I have a long way to goooo. Now we're doing our final project and I am doing a video piece on crying. Reading all these books. It's really interesting.

HBA: I am doing a piece with multiple bodies melting into each other like wax (oh wait, I'm using wax I think). Check out my other blog for more updates.

Recycling: We're starting up a piece that's about materiality and minimalism. In essence, I need to figure out how/what I'm gathering and what I form out of it will come from the material's intrinsic nature. I will now spew some pretentious rule for how it's meant to be viewed (kidding).

Video Dance: Figure in a Landscape. I don't know what to do! Also, this is AMAZING. We watched in class...
